Magna on the Danube Cruise Review

“It’s hard to resist cruising the Danube, and we have done it several times before, but this Cruise represented something just a bit different. First, the vessel was amazing, huge, in fact, with so much space and luxury. Second, the tours were exceptionally well thought out and planned, a real markup from what we’ve experienced before. There’s so much attention to detail, from the itineraries to the boat itself; definitely, the best Cruise we’ve ever had on the Danube.”
